Or, for that matter, the Tesla with that humongous screen that looks like a mounted laptop.

Oh my God! I think I'd park it unlocked and pray for someone to steal it. How insane! Actually, I think you are putting us on - good one! It is possible some would want that I guess

Not a put on. It's a Tesla S and it's real. I've driven my friend's and it's fast. Not my cuppa tea but he loves it.

Default Apple’s CarPlay

Do the new Audis come with Apple's CarPlay as default or need to be purchased separately?

I love the looks of the new Tesla too, its just that it costs too much here in Finland. Used cheapest Tesla from year 2014 is € 99.500 !

Audi is at least a model year away from implementing Apple CarPlay or Android Car. It's not clear if or which MY2016 models will be retroactively able to upgrade. It's not likely that earlier models will be able to be upgraded except possibly the new 2015 A3/S3.

I don't think the MMI display will be retractable in any region and the March model year change is not a first, they just did that with the A6 C7 in 2015.

I reckon they will be in the Middle East for regional press launch January or February, and available to buy almost immediately after this, providing we get sufficient allocation.

I'm quite tempted do get one of the first A4, presuming they put the 252bhp 2.0TFSi in the car for this region.

Are you saying the A6 2016 MMI screen is fixed?

It's fixed?

I didn't know that it was broken... And the bad jokes continue...
